Description
Lily Coolican, the flamboyant heroine of Willie: A Romance and Lily: A Rhapsody in Red, is now in her eighties and feistier than ever: while Ronald Reagan is speaking on Parliament Hill, she lobs an egg at the President. Lily's defiant impulse triggers an extraordinary and sinister chain of events tretching back to 1945 and the race for the Bomb.
Befriended by TV journalist Jennie Hutchinson, Lily helps search for the truth about Jennie's father, a U.S. nuclear scientist drowned under suspicious circumstances. The trail of evidence leads through the tangled web of CIA espionage, and through Lily's past loves with Mackenzie King and Vladimir Shuvakin, a dashing Russian diplomat in wartime Ottawa. And at the centre of the mystery sits the most enigmatic and explosive figure of all--Igor Gouzenko, the Soviet defector whose spy revelations started the Cold War.
Igor: A Novel of Intrigue brings the award-winning fictional trilogy, The King Years, to a stunning conclusion.
